How to create a blank CSV file in iOS

Question

I am trying to create a blank CSV file and then write to it using CHCSVWriter, but I do not see a method in the library to create a new file with no content. Is there something at the iOS level that I can use to do this?

Answer 1

Have you tried

NSString *content = @"content here";
NSData *fileContents = [content dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] createFileAtPath:@"/my/path/to/file.csv"
                                contents:fileContents
                                attributes:nil];

if you want a blank file, try setting contents:nil
